aka.ms sdk-productversion.txt is outdated

[philipborg]

Describe the bug

https://aka.ms/dotnet/sts/sdk-productversion.txt is supposed to return the latest STS release. Reasonably that should be .NET SDK 8 now with its release but it's still .NET 7.

If the intent is that STS links should not include LTS releases, which I personally disagree with, then I'd assume https://aka.ms/dotnet/lts/sdk-productversion.txt would return .NET 8. It still returns .NET 6.

My conclusion is that some build step for .NET 8 isn't setting those links properly, not that it's intentional with STS. LTS is definitely wrong regardless.

To Reproduce

Open https://aka.ms/dotnet/sts/sdk-productversion.txt or https://aka.ms/dotnet/lts/sdk-productversion.txt and notice it saying .NET 7 and .NET 6 respectively.

The sts one is correct and should be 7. The LTS one is incorrect and should be 8 now. @mmitche @rbhanda do ya'll know how these get set?

[philipborg]

The sts one is correct and should be 7.

Just adding something interesting I just saw. Seems like some internal terminology discussion may be warranted.

Just refreshing some information, this is still an issue. LTS still returns 6.0.418. STS is still unclear whether it's wrong.

LTS link is fixed! If STS link is as desired then this issue may be closed.

STS is outdated now again with the release of .NET 9.
